A heated exchange unfolded on May 2, 2025, when Ghana’s Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, sent a text message accusing Good Evening Ghana host Paul Adom-Otchere of misrepresenting him on air.
This controversy, sparked by accusations of corruption from Kwame A Plus, has left the public questioning the integrity of key figures involved in the ongoing Law House contract issue.
See below for five takeaways from their ‘showdown.’
1. A strong message from Dr. Ayine
On May 2, 2025, Dr. Dominic Ayine, Ghana’s Attorney General, sent a direct message to Metro TV’s Good Evening Ghana host, Paul Adom-Otchere. In the message, Ayine accused Adom-Otchere of misrepresenting him on air, particularly in relation to the ongoing controversy involving Kwame A Plus.
2. The allegations against Dr. Ayine
Dr. Ayine responded to accusations from Kwame A Plus, who claimed that Ayine manipulated the Sanitation and Pollution Levy for personal gain. A Plus also alleged that Ayine restructured the leadership of a parliamentary committee to benefit a close associate. Dr. Ayine denied these claims, challenging A Plus to provide proof.
3. The law house contract controversy
The Law House, an office building for the Attorney General’s Ministry, was completed in 2024 after a long construction process. Dr. Ayine’s message specifically referenced a contract linked to the Law House project, suggesting that Adom-Otchere was connected to an individual involved in the contract. Ayine called into question the integrity of this individual, claiming he had more integrity than them.
4. Adom-Otchere’s apology
Paul Adom-Otchere was taken aback by Dr. Ayine’s strong words. On air, he apologized, expressing confusion about his supposed involvement with the Law House contract. “I was working on the Law House contract? Me, I was working on the Law House contract?” he said, before issuing a public apology to the Attorney General.
5. Unclear connections in the law house deal
While Dr. Ayine’s message pointed to possible shady dealings involving a person linked to Adom-Otchere, the details about the contract for the Law House remain unclear. The contract was awarded to a new firm in 2022 after years of delay, but the exact role of Adom-Otchere or his associate remains unconfirmed.
